Topic: Ad Management Mod V2.3 Released (Read 86587 times)

I am pleased to announce a new version of the Ad Management mod. It contains various bug fixes as well as some new settings and ad locations. Here is a list of new features that has been added in this version:- New setting to allow admins to disable ads if they are admins- New setting to disable ads on a global scale- New setting to disable ad reports- New setting to make ads within posts either look like actual posts or not- You can now display ads after the last post.- You can now display ads in-between categories- You can now display ads under child boards.- A few security fixes

Although I know I have excluded some requests, I do believe I have added a number of features to help you display your ads better. Language files will have to be updated as I have included a number of new strings. Anybody willing to translate them can grab Ads.english.php and translate the file into your language. You should take the previous file that way you won’t have to translate all the strings. If you have translated the mod into your language and it is not in the language board, please give me the file and I will put it in there. The new version can be downloaded from the mod site on SMF.

Also, I have done something different this time. This is a test project to see how the smfads.com community reacts to it. This time around I have added a custom theme mod. What this will do, is install the required edits on a custom theme. You will still need to install the original ad mod though. At the moment, the only custom theme mod I have created is for the Helios Multicolor. However, there is a cost for this added mod. It will cost you 5$ to purchase this add-on mod. If you would like me to create more add-on mods for your other custom themes, please contact me and let me know which theme you would like. Note, that these add-on mods don’t include anything extra; they only edit the template files of your custom theme. To purchase these add-on themes you need to go into your profile, and then click on the paid subscriptions link.

Outstanding! So are you saying that this $5 mod you created will install the required code in any custom theme or is it $5 to have you do the mod for a required theme? I have two custom themes that I use and have your ad mod running on both. I actually paid someone to do the required theme edits for me so the mod would work. I'd like to install the new version of the ad mod you just released and get it working with my two themes.

I had no idea if people would be willing to pay for the custom edits mod so i've only created one at the moment. It will only install on the Helious Multicolor theme at the moment. If this is something you are interseted in purchasing, let me know the other themes you want me to create other addon mods for.At the moment, its 5$ per custom theme. I could however change that and make a bundle to purchase more than one.

When I removed mine I had to edit a few files, then when I installed the new one I only have to edit one. All is working great, I just wish there was a standard for mods so they could be uninstalled and installed together easier. With way this is a great mod and I am glad to see it getting updates and improvements
